Are you sure that you are selecting the whole column?
If you want to replace values in a specific column, you need to select the whole column and to select the whole column, click on the column header (i.e. click on column letter)
Or if you want to replace values in a selected range, select all the cells where you want to replace a value and then invoke the replace window by pressing Ctrl+H.
But if only one cell is selected on the sheet, Replace All will replace all the values from all the cells on the sheet.
